Well, I came upon a child of god   He was walking along the road   And I asked him, tell me, where are you going   This he told me:      Said, I'm going down to yasgur's farm   Gonna join in a rock and roll band   Got to get back to the land   And set my soul free      {refrain}   We are stardust   We are golden   We are billion-year-old carbon   And we got to get ourselves   Back to the garden      Well then, can I walk beside you?    I have come to lose the smog   And I feel myself a cog   In something turning      And maybe it's the time of year   Yes, and maybe it's the time of man   And I don't know who I am   But life is for learning      {refrain twice}      By the time we got to woodstock   We were half a million strong   And everywhere was a song   And a celebration      And I dreamed I saw the bomber jet planes   Riding shotgun in the sky   Turning into butterflies   Above our nation      We are stardust   We are golden   We are caught in the devil's bargain   And we got to get ourselves   Back to the garden
